But surely there is a general rules principle here. Which is that if any part of a units base is in terrain, then the whole unit (base) is considered to be within the terrain.
That is how it works in melee, so why would it be any different for shooting?

I think the whole 'front-edge' thing is a red-herring and confusing.
I totally understand the recent FAQ around fortifications - as that this correcting an obvious anomaly - but Fortifications are not Terrain.

With regards to Woods, Plantations and Villages on steep hills - we have always played it that you don't double up the disadvantage as it seemed realistic that once you are disadvantaged by terrain you cannot be double or multiple disadvantaged. Woods, Plantations or Villages provide cover from line of sight (@ 1UD or over) and any shooters will already be disadvantaged by being on the Steep Hill.

I think this thread is making things far too complex (IMHO)

Mark, there is nothing deeper than what you note. Either Plantation has a one-off exception, or shooting location is calculated differently from melee location. Or something else.
Most of the time players will avoid having half the unit in terrain anyway, but this question can only be resolved by fiat.
